As the parish is 5 miles north east of Launceston, and 9 miles south west of Holsworthy, it may well be just on the county boundary line.

It is very close to Werrington, but whether you record them as Devon Or Cornwall it won't make a lot of difference.

You could always add a note to your record(s)
